Sailing from the UK to the Azores in a 31' ketch typically takes about 10 to 14 days, depending on weather conditions, the specific departure point in the UK, and the vessel's speed. Factors such as wind direction, sea state, and the sailor's experience can also significantly influence the duration of the journey. A well-planned route with favorable winds can shorten the trip, while adverse conditions may extend it.

What is a ketch?
A Ketch is a sailing vessel with two masts, a main mast and a mizzen mast abaft. Very similar to a Yawl the main differences being a ketch's mizzen mast is forward of the rudder post which in turn gives the ketch a larger sail area. A ketch's mizzen mast is used for propulsion where a yawls mizzen mast is used for trim and balance. Ketches are very common among long distance sailors, since the larger sail area gives you a better balance. Also a ketch allows you to drop your mainsail in sudden wind gusts and sail only with your jib and mizzen set.

On a ketch or a yawl, it is the aftermost sail (the one in the back, for you lubbers!) For more info visit: http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/AtoZ/rigs.html

What ship route would have been taken from the Azores to Ellis Island?
The ship route from the Azores to Ellis Island would typically involve a transatlantic crossing to the eastern United States. Vessels would sail northwest from the Azores, navigating across the Atlantic Ocean towards the northeastern coast of the U.S., often entering through New York Harbor. The journey would generally take advantage of prevailing winds and currents, with ships likely following a route that aligned with major shipping lanes to ensure safety and efficiency.

What are the names of the sails on a Ketch type sail boat?
The lowest fore-and-aft sail on the main mast is called the mainsail, while that on the mizzen is called the mizzen sail. These may be any type of fore-and-aft sail, in any combination. The Scots Zulu, for example, had a dipping lug main with a standing lug mizzen.
